CAPE-OPEN Tester Suite

A CO Tester checks a software component for basic conformity with CAPE-OPEN standards. A CO Tester prepares a report which enables any developer to assess the compliance of a piece of software with the CO interface specifications.

A CO Tester acts as a basic simulation environment where software components can be plugged in. It is designed to automatically carry out a number of scenarios. First, A CO Tester checks for the existence of the required CO interfaces within the tested software. This constitutes the Basic test. Then each method of each interface is tested on its arguments (existence and type), and on its functionality. This constitutes the Function test. Any developer is also able to run self-designed tests through the Integration test part, where the developer defines the test scenarios.

A CO Tester needs only to be downloaded (free of charge) and installed (currently, only a Windows executable is available). It comes with a help functionality explaining how to use the tool and its various features.

COM Tester Suite

The CO Tester Suite permits the test of COM software components implementing interface specifications of the CAPE-OPEN standard. Reports can be generated in text format. The tester comes with a setup which properly installs the necessary files on your machine.

CAPE-OPEN Unit Operation socket in UniSim Design

Honeywell Process Solutions was awarded funding within the Consultancy Services scheme. Outcome of this action was reported by Martin ROSS, UniSim Product Manager, at the CAPE-OPEN 2014 Annual Meeting, held on September 10-11, 2014 in Mörfelden, Germany.

Consultancy Services: how does it work?

The purpose of the Consultancy Services scheme is to provide assistance, in the form of access to a specialist consultant and funding, in the new implementation of CAPE-OPEN interfaces or the improvement of existing interface implementations. Look out for the next round of service requests and apply.

Dynamic simulation and numerical analysis tool

The simulation environment Diana (Dynamic simulation and numerical analysis tool) performs the numerical analysis of problems such as the ones usually found in process engineering.

One of the main aspects of Diana is that it relies on the CAPE-OPEN Numerical interfaces. The models handled by the solvers within the numerical kernel of Diana, or plugged in Diana, are object-oriented models based on the CAPE-OPEN Equation Set Object (ESO) concept.
